Dinner is served! About 25 Timezoners gathered in Singapore on Oct 22, 1999. Special Guest for the dinner was Rolf Schnyder, President & CEO of Ulysse Nardin.

Special thanks to Rolf for very graciously paying for the wine (5 bottles of fine Californian red wines…Thomas, what were they?), for the Ulysse Nardin baseball caps, the catalogs, and for his valuable time to share with us. Also thanks to Richard Paige, for the SWIS pins…we will wear it proudly.

Also thanks to the folks at Lange Uhren for the loan of the Lange Datograph and 1815 Moonphase. And to Sincere Watch (Wilson) for the Lange catalogs.

And finally, last but certainly not least, Dr. TC Khoo…for taking these wonderful pictures. Nikon 950.

Without further ado, her are the pictures:

Rolf: A lot of work went into the watch! It is not merely an ETA! Only the base train was used. Everything was designed, and manufactured for Ulysse Nardin!

Rolf Schnyder making the point that even with a base ebauche, a movement can involve a lot of inhouse work, and creativity to bring to life. He brought the technical drawings of the UN GMT Big Date. Many, many detailed drawings.

We took over the restaurant!
